Hello everyone! I have finished another baby blanket and this one has gotten a CRAZY response from my knitting group on Facebook! It’s another knit and purl only blanket (no cables here!) and it great for the beginner. The blanket is completely reversible and the diamonds appear to be 3D. I have created a pattern and it can be found in my Etsy shop; Cape Cod Stitchery. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I’m glad to say that I’ve rolled out another baby blanket pattern at Etsy and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

It’s is knit with chunky yarn, on bigger needles, and it’s irresistibly fluffy and so soft! Not only was it a pleasure to make, it’s an heirloom item that can be treasured for years, long after the little one has grown out of it.

If there are any questions, please feel free to comment or send me a private message. Otherwise, please check out my Etsy store, Cape Cod Stitchery, not only for this pattern but for the others that have already been posted.

So, “The Project” has been launched and I’m very encouraged by the results. About 6 weeks ago, I began creating patterns for the baby blankets that I’ve been making for military members, that I work with, that are welcoming little ones into their lives. After creating the patterns, I began posting them on Etsy as digital downloads at my shop, Cape Cod Stitchery, and have found an element of success that I’m quiet happy with. Three of the four patterns are quite unique because I made them with bulky/chunky yarn (that is incredibly soft and fluffy acrylic yarn that is COMPLETELY washable!) and gender neutral that is perfect for the little ones that could get chilly once the impending winter gets closer to us (if it’s anything like last winter, something really warm will be needed). Once knitted, I created them to be durable so it would make a perfect floor blanket to put between the chilly floor and a snuggly baby.

Anyway, I’m very proud of how these baby blanket patterns have turned out and I’ve gotten a massive response from the knitting groups that I belong to. Please, take a moment to check them out at:
